Every now and then I get a small chick or duckling that needs Baytril. Since the liquid I have is 100 mg/ml, it is too hard to correctly dose something small like a 100-gram chick. A 100-gram chick should 1-1.5 mg twice a day which is 0.01 ml of the 100 mg/ml liquid, so what I do is take 9 ml of distilled water and add 1 ml of Baytril, which gives me a liquid that is 10 mg/ml.
Then the math is:
0.1 x 10 / 10 = 0.1 ml twice a day.
